"Tewah did an amazing job. He was very professional, reasonable and had the best side manners. My place was spotless after he got done removing the popcorn ceiling, he made sure of that. I wish all contractors were as honest and helpful as he was. Thank you again for helping me get this job done. I will definitely pass the word around my neighborhood."

"Elite Drywall performed two open ceiling repairs damaged by water and subsequent plumbing work. They replicated the texture perfectly. The job performed was on an income property. They are now my "go to" service provider for future repairs and painting."

"Ivan and his team did an excellent job painting the walls and ceilings on our townhouse. He consulted with us to test various colors, made recommendations, and managed the entire process. They were always on-time, and delivered spectacular results within our budget. Definitely recommended!"

"Mike is a very professional Drywall Contractor. His prices are competitive and he is very flexible. He also can do large or small projects However for my small bathroom job I was in a rush as I had other subcontractors relying on having the drywall done ASAP. Unfortunately Mike was tied up with another project and could not meet our target installation date or dead line. I would definitely use Mike in the future for any drywall project large or small."

"Very well. We had to be entirely out of the house for two nights. But it was understandable because *everything* was covered in plastic. They sent instructions ahead of time. You really need to pack up most things, even thought they say only breakables need to be removed. The electrical and drywall work was well done. They asked a lot of questions about the placement of the new can lights, the switches, etc. We really love the new lights. They even swapped out a nearby old light so that they all looked the same - nice touch! The ceilings look great. The new entrance to the attic was very nicely done. The painting on the ceilings looked great. The folks that did the work really took some pride in their work, and with good reason. The price was fair, and I'd hire them again."

Popcorn Ceilings FAQs, answered by experts

Knockdown hides imperfections better than orange peel due to its thicker, more varied pattern. The valleys and peaks make flaws less visible under lighting. However, note that knockdown walls will collect more dust and dirt, so be prepared to wipe them away more frequently than you would with orange peel.

How long it takes to repair a ceiling depends on the extent of the damage. Patching a small hole might only take a few minutes, while repairing a water-damaged section of the ceiling could take hours. If there are structural issues, expect your ceiling repair to take several days or longer.

Textured walls can increase the value of your home if the style is modern and seen as a desirable feature and not something a prospective buyer would need to remedy. A good example of this is popcorn texture versus Venetian plaster. The plaster wall would add value to your home, whereas the popcorn texture may be something a new buyer would want to remove.

It is often less expensive to cover a popcorn ceiling instead of removing it. Installing drywall costs $1.50 to $3 per square foot, whereas popcorn ceiling removal averages $7 per square foot. Another option may be installing beadboard panels over top, giving your ceiling a fresh and modern look.

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.
